over the weekend?

Yesterday I laid a carpet and built furniture, aslo did a bit to the white chammy.

Today I fitted new light bulbs needed for the white chammy.

Tranton was over so we removed his dodgy alarm, fitted his stereo right, wired his aerial in right, freed off his brake slider bolts and aligned his drivers wing a bit better, not to shabby.

Went for a wander up the braes with him as well (oeer!).

We then got the gearbox off the engine out the back, this one is going on the white chammy, had a poke aroudn the energy lump and the 16V lump out the back.

Now hes away I managed to get the hatches engines cam cover off, very clean, it needed chisselled off, red hemmertite was used along with a gasket!

Because its sat for so long theres no oil in there ar all really, a few small puddles in a few places, but Its surprisingly dry up the top. Then again it has sat for over a year.

Yesterday worked 6am-3:30pm at McDonalds serving food to the masses. Then today slacked it at home playing games, looking at porn and eating.

Sod all. but pissed out with the Megane battery. fitted the one out of the 19. Cleaned the box that will be going in the 19. It would have been fitted if mother would have told the oldman where the brand new clutch was hiding out of the way. As taking it off, then having to do it again for the clutch as a watse of time. So the box did'nt get fitted. Still drove the 19 with the feck'd box tho'

While we on about what we do. in the week. My Job. Well I grind drill bit's do approx 50K a week. Love to know what Chris does. As he find's so much time for the car's.

It just stuck its head back in the river after glaring at us.those cows were all over the shop. We walked by one in a river, I said "moo" and it got its head up, not looking impressed as I startled it and it had big mofo horns and I would imagine a cow can outrun a human, so we wondered if we would get a chase from it Laughing
